DEBRIS GUARD FOR A FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY

摘要

A guard assembly associated with a final drive assembly is provided. The guard assembly includes a skirt member coupled to the final drive assembly such that the skirt member partially encloses the spindle housing. The skirt member includes a first end portion having a mounting surface and a second end portion having an axial projection radially spaced from the outer surface and extending towards the first end portion such that the axial projection defines a circumferential groove adjacent to an outer surface. The guard assembly also includes a segmented seal having an axial member provided in an inner surface and extending inward towards an inner surface and defining a circumferential groove positioned outward from a first diameter such that the circumferential groove is configured to cooperate with and be spaced from the circumferential groove of the second end portion of the skirt member.
